Wow. Julie is truly incredible. I learned the song as a guitar solo a few years back, and have always thought it was one of the most touching songs I'd heard. Hearing it in Gaelic takes it a hundred times further into my weeping heart. @pduffy 1943, thank you for putting up a version of Gaelic. I am going to try to learn it. I don't know Gaelic, shame on me, but I can copy it if I can hear and see the phrases at the same time. Terrible accent, but Utahms wont know! wow.

[pduffy1943]

Yes, Julie sings it so beautifully. Here's a version I wrote in Irish. Hope you like it. LON DUBH Lon dubh a’ seinm i gciúin na hoích’ Tóg do sciatháin bhriste is éirigh suas Fad do shaoil Tá tú a’ feitheamh leis an uair go mbeifeá saor Lon dubh a’ seinm i gciúin na hoích’ Tóg na súile dubh’ is breathnaigh síos Fad do shaoil Tá tú a’ feitheamh leis an uair go mbeifeá saor Lon dubh scaoil, lon dubh scaoil Isteach i solas dubh na hoích’

[dogekko]

A beautiful version of one of my favourite songs....makes me wish I could speak Gaelic

[Blatch643]

i agree

[dechetsdailybs]

you can always learn.

Its a magical language

[AshaNicRaghall]

@dogekko you should try learning it! :) I speak it fluently and I think of it as a fantastic gift to know more than one language, especially one that is as beautiful as Gaelic. And being from the Highlands, being able to say I speak Gaelic makes me so proud to be Scottish :)
